“Having a platform that allows people to connect with other people that may have similar affinities but are not working in the same groups gets people very excited. Spigit is a great way to close the gap between people that may have never met each other.”

Spigit Delivers Business Transformation With Yammer

As part of its ongoing partnership with Yammer, Spigit, the global leader in Social Innovation software announced today its offering as a featured app in the newly announced Yammer App Directory.

The Yammer App Directory was launched at YamJam ’12 this week to provide Yammer customers with an easy way to discover and install enterprise apps.

The Spigit ICON app gives companies a quick way to crowdsource answers and ideas from employees, customers and partners in their existing social communities.

Yammer customers can now activate their communities by accessing ICON for free with one click.

ICON benefits include:

Ensuring every idea is considered with pairwise voting so your community surfaces the best answers.

Insight from the community to help business leaders make more informed decisions.

Increased innovation and engagement from coworkers and customers across geographies.

Spigit, the company’s leading social innovation platform for the enterprise, is also featured in the Yammer app directory.

SpigitEngage enables enterprises to manage the end-to-end innovation process from generating ideas to business execution.

SpigitEngage enables innovation to become a predictable business process at many of the leading global brands in the world.

SpigitEngage integrates with Yammer and SharePoint to provide a comprehensive crowdsourcing and social innovation solution on the Microsoft platform.
